Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake with Milka

Suddenly, my girls and my husband wanted only cakes or cookies for their 'first breakfast'. I don't know if you have heard it but in Germany, there is such a thing as a first and second breakfast.

The first breakfast is eaten at home, the second is at work or in school or just wherever you are outdoors. Anyway, their regular first breakfast selection are mostly composed of cereal with milk or joghurt or a piece of fruit; accompanied by fruit juice or tea.

The past few weeks, they seem to crave cakes or cookies only. Since this is a special demand request, I decided to bake them something that would satisfy the taste of both girls (my husband would eat any kind of cakes or cookies, but only during breakfast!). Note: MC loves cheesecakes and IC loves chocolate cakes.

And I ended up here. And saw the recipe for a chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake. After ticking out all the ingredients, and thinking I have them ready, I decided to do it now!

It turned out that we don't have any chocolate morsels for baking anymore -- but we do have Milka Chocolate Bars, one bitter and three with hazelnuts. Plus, I saw a pack of almost melted chocolate teddy bears which is a mixture of white and dark chocos.

I baked the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake using the Milka choco bar, chopped into small squares; plus and the melted teddy bear choco.

The result? The cheesecake looked flat and hard! After a taste, I concluded that it was indeed hard, in some parts. That was because the Milka Chocolate were still intact. No melt chocolate? But that was made it Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake with Milka.

No matter. The cake was eaten with much enthusiasm by my girls and my husband. Of course, IC loved the crunch of the Milka bars while MC chose the cheesy parts. As for my husband, he gobbled up two pieces at once!
